Your Signature Dish

I am no cook in the same sense as Trevor because I always go for simple When I make this lasagna - I am often asked for the recipe. I always submit it to those ring-bound fundraiser cookbooks for churches and organizations, too. I made the recipe up after using "no bake" noodles in Germany. They make them here to, but I just buy the regular lasagna noodles - whatever is on sale. I use venison but of course, beef, turkey, etc are fine too. Hope you try it because it is SOOO easy and YUMMY!

No Need to Cook the Noodles Lasagna

1 lb ground venison
1 onion, chopped
1 jar of spaghetti sauce, we like the Ragu Chunky
1/2 jar water
medium size carton of cottage cheese
2 eggs
big handful parsley
1 tsp (or more) garlic powder
1/2 c. grated parmesan
3 c. shredded mozzarella
9 lasagna noodles (right from package)

Brown the meat and onion. add jar od sauce and the water to rinse jar. The extra water will be absorbed by the pasta. In other bowl - mix cottage cheese, eggs, parsley, garlic and parmesan. In 9 x 13 baking dish, begin layers: first a ladle of sauce, then three noodles, half the cottage cheese mixture, more sauce, three noodles, other half of cottage cheese mixture, one cup mozzarella, ladle of sauce, three more noodles, the rest of the sauce and then two cups mozzarella. Make sure all the edges of noodles are covered with sauce and cheese. The dish will be very full. Cover with foil (poof up in center so as not to stick to cheese) and seal at edges.

Bake in 375 degree oven for 45 minutes. Uncover, turn heat down to 325 degrees and bale another 15 minutes. Check to see when it is bubbly but not too brown. Remove dish and allow to rest for 15 minutes for easiest cutting and nice square servings.

You will never cook those noodles again

FUN thread!!! Great recipes! I can't wait to get cooking!!

I'm always asked to bring my grandma's stuffed mushrooms. They are to die for...yum!! I'll post the recipe here soon.

I have a version of "Better Than Sex Cake" too:

1 pkg Devil's food cake mix
7 Skor or Heath bars
1 jar caramel ice cream topping
1 container Cool Whip

*best if you use a rectangle cake pan*

Mix cake mix according to package directions, adding 5 chopped Skor/Heath bars to batter. Cook according to directions.

AS SOON as cake is taken from the oven, poke holes in cake and pour entire contents of caramel sauce onto cake. Let absorb and cool completely.

When ready to serve, put contents of Cool Whip on cake and spread evenly. Top with remaining 2 chopped Skor/Heath bars.

Enjoy!! Its gooey, sweet and lovely...the Cool Whip is better than frosting because it isn't as sweet.

This is a delicious thread - HaHaHa!
I love to cook too. i am known for my chili - even won the local chili-cook-off a couple years ago, came in 2nd twice before that. I claimed my mom's recipe box when she passed away, she was quite the pastry lady, so even thought they don't come out quite like hers, I can make alot of the things she did.
My sons thinks my chicken catchitori (sp?) is the best! I remember my mom & dad cooking huge pots of the stuff for Sunday dinners - it smells soooo good! Do you want a recipe for chicken catchitori?
